Turquoise Turtle Knot

Secure shoelace knot that rarely comes undone.

The Turquoise Turtle Knot, also known as the 'Shoemaker's Knot,' is a highly secure method for tying shoelaces. It combines elements of the Square Knot and the Surgeon’s Knot. To tie, make a Two Loop Shoelace Knot, then pass the loop and adjacent loose end through the middle a second time before tightening. To untie, simply pull the short ends.

Also Known As

  • Shoemaker's Knot

Advantages

Highly secure and rarely comes undone unintentionally, making it ideal for shoelaces.

Disadvantages

Slightly more complex to tie and untie compared to standard shoelace knots.
